Coping with Exam Stress

Exams can be a challenging time, and we are committed to supporting the emotional wellbeing of our pupils throughout the process.

We help pupils manage exam stress by:

• Creating calm and predictable routines

• Offering pastoral support and time-out spaces

• Using social stories and visual timetables to reduce anxiety

• Encouraging positive reinforcement and celebrating effort

Parents and carers can support at home by:

• Keeping routines consistent

• Talking positively about exams

• Helping pupils take regular breaks and get enough sleep

• Reassuring them that their best effort is what matters most
